Here is the reason why I'm aking this Question. I use depend products to help treat my overactive bladder. My son who is 3 is potty training & we are having a struggle with it. We were on a trip recently & I had to wear Depend protective underwear at night as a precuation to protect the hotel bed agnaist a possible bedwetting due to the overactive bladder. My 3yr old on that trip saw me in just my Depends & he has seen me in my depends products at others times as well. Could me wearing depends be confusing my son when it comes to potty training. He might be thinking that it's okay for him to wear a pulls instead of wearing regular underwear. I wear regular underwear to hide my depends products except at night.

Thanks for any help

Your son will not get confused if you don't expose your protective garment. When he is old enough to understand that some people need diapers, you should then explain why you need them.
